Answer:

x= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Base of the triangle as x
  • Length of the leg is 4x-5
  • An isosceles triangle has two equal legs and a base.
  • The perimeter of the triangle is 35 (spelling mistake in the question)

To get the perimeter of a triangle we add the lengths of all sides of the triangle.

Therefore;

x + 4x-5 + 4x-5  = 35

9x - 10 = 35

9x = 45

  x = 5

Thus, the value of x is 5

Use the graph to find the solution of the system of equations {y = x^2 + 6x + 8 {y = x + 4
Phantasy [73]
Essentially when people ask you find the solution to system of equation, there asking at what x value do these to graphs intersect. The easiest way to do this is to get a graphing calculator, or desmos and type in the equation and find where they intersect. Heck, even the question says to solve it with a graph, but I'll demonstrate it algebraically.

One way you can do this is set the equation equal to each other. This is because you want to know at what x-value has the same y-value. So we get:

x^2 + 6x + 8 = x + 4

We can then combine like terms, or move everything to one side. So we get:

x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0.

Then we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

x=(-5 +/- sqrt(5^2 - 4(1)(4)))/(2(1)

This simplifies into:

(-5 +/- 3)/2

Finally we add and subtract:

(-5 + 3)/2 = x = -1
(-5 - 3)/2 = x = -4

And our solution is x = -1, x = -4

The length of a rectangle is five times it’s width if the area of the rectangle is 320m^2 find its perimeter
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 96 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle = K

So, the length of the rectangle = 5K

Area  = 320 sq meters

Now, Area of a Rectangle  = Length x Width

⇒  320  = K x  5K

or,5K^{2} = 320\\or, K^{2}  = \frac{320}{5}   = 64

So, the vlue of K = 8 or, K = -8

But as K represents a length hence, K ≠ -8

So, the <u>width of the rectangle = 8 meters</u>

and the<u> length  of the rectangle = 8 x 5 = 40 meters</u>

Now, Perimeter = 2(length + width)

                            = 2(8 + 40) = 96 meters.

So, the perimeter of the rectangle = 96 meters.
